    Abstract: An apparatus comprises an arm including a flexible portion and an actuation mechanism to bend and straighten the flexible portion of the arm. The apparatus also includes a sensor apparatus that generates bend information about at least one bend in the flexible portion and an electronic data processor. The electronic data processor determines external force information and/or internal force information from the bend information and information representing at least one mechanical property of the flexible portion.

    Abstract: A method of operating a shape sensing apparatus comprising receiving first shape data from a first shape sensor section including a first elongated optical fiber extending between a first location and a second location. The method further comprises receiving second shape data front a second shape sensor section including a second elongated optical fiber extending between a third location and a fourth location. The method further comprises determining a position of an end portion of the first shape sensor section using the second shape data from the second shape sensor section.

    Abstract: Methods of and a system for providing force information for a robotic surgical system. The method includes storing first kinematic position information and first actual position information for a first position of an end effector; moving the end effector via the robotic surgical system from the first position to a second position; storing second kinematic position information and second actual position information for the second position; and providing force information regarding force applied to the end effector at the second position utilizing the first actual position information, the second actual position information, the first kinematic position information, and the second kinematic position information. Visual force feedback is also provided via superimposing an estimated position of an end effector without force over an image of the actual position of the end effector. Similarly, tissue elasticity visual displays may be shown.
